    Macbeth is a story of passion, power, and violent betrayal: all of which are found in both Polanski’s ‘Macbeth’ and the BBC’s contemporary adaptation of ‘Shakespeare Retold’ directed by Mark Brozel. Both films set in Scotland, follow the original plot from Macbeth, however, Brozel’s rendition does not depict the traditional interpretation as Polanski’s did, instead using modern day language to better relate the Shakespearian classic to today’s audience.…

    Throughout many of Shakespeare’s plays, one of the central themes with which he provides his readers is the topic of madness and insanity. In Karin S. Coddon’s, “Such Strange Desygns”: Madness, Subjectivity, and Treason in Hamlet and Elizabethan Culture, the author depicts the reasons behind the psychosis of Shakespeare’s characters and what led to their insanity. The author expresses insight for not only the themes of madness in Hamlet but also helps explain the aspect of madness in one Shakespeare’s other plays, Macbeth. Through her analysis, Coddon successfully offers her readers a deeper understanding of Shakespeare’s choice to portray his characters in this way and provides the causes and effects of insanity within his plays.…

    When Shakespeare was a kid going to grammar school, a school open to boys only by the way! they learned Latin, Greek and rhetoric, persuasion through logical argument. Students read Latin and Greek writers to learn about the history of ancient Greece and "the glory that was Rome” and this material was translated by them into English or French after many hours of work. I 'm glad the school curriculum of the 21 st century has evolved and we no longer spend our days doing boring stuff like that! Their old-fashioned, subjects that have little relevance in the modern world of the internet and space travel. The question is: shouldn 't we allow our education system to further evolve and file Shakespeare in the same drawer where we 've stuck Homer, Plato and Ovid? Given the society of North America in the 21 st century, Shakespeare 's relevance is declining with each new technical advance. The purpose of this essay is to prove isn 't it time to address this question head on, even at the risk of causing legions of English teachers to collapse in horror?…

    The American Shakespeare Center is a theatre troupe that attempts to very carefully emulate Shakespearean theatre and the conditions used by Shakespeare. As a troupe, they mimicked early modern English theatre quite well during their performance of Two Gentlemen of Verona. They employed the same staging, the same conditions (as much as possible with modern technology), used the same dialect and costume, scenery and set pieces were minimal, followed the original script well, included live music, and did not have a director. It was a truly an authentic performance. The differences are many having to do with hundreds of years of technological advancements. These are things such as electric lighting, women included in production, and seating.…

    Have you ever wondered how the theater become so popular? People will think that it was because of Hollywood or some other thing, but it started on the eastern side of the world. There was a movement called the Renaissance, and that movement created theaters and many other things that people enjoy in our modern world.

    Explorer: Youth, thou bear'st thy father's face; frank nature, rather curious than in haste, hath well composed thee (All’s Well That Ends Well). I have heard of your paintings too, well enough (Hamlet). He did look far into the service of the time and was discipled of the bravest: he lasted long; but on us both did haggish age steal on and wore us out of act (All’s Well That Ends Well). 'Tis well blown, lads: this morning, like the spirit of a youth that means to be of note, begins betimes. So, so; come, give me that: this way; well said (All’s Well That Ends Well). The world esteem'd thy father honourable, but I did find him still mine enemy. Thou shouldst have better pleas'd me with this deed, hadst thou descended from another house. But fare thee well; thou art a gallant youth (As You Like It). [The old explorer leaves. Enter a young explorer, with equipment for desert traveling on a desert backdrop with a young child wearing regal clothes standing on the opposite side of the stage. The child doesn’t notice the explorer.]…

    The question many people today ask is, “Are William Shakespeare's plays still relevant today?” The answer to that question is yes. One of the main reasons that William Shakespeare's plays are still relevant today is because they show that things that were problems back then, are also problems in today's times. Some examples of that are, how people sometimes make poor decisions when in love, how a relationship can cause conflict, and finally, how love still forms no matter the obstacle.…
